 So mine did this also . Reg then code but no way to enter . I fiddled for ages and nothing happened . I then jist left the car running for a while 15 mins with code solid came back and it was ready to input .

Issue is i dont know the code to input now haha .

Anyone know how to get it.

Cheers
Have you got any books with the car that might have the code? Or if you pull the radio out and fine the serial number that starts with a M you can get the number easy enough

entering codes as will lock out after 10 attempts

OK so left ignition on for 20 mins and yes the code display started flashing...
Put code in off paperwork supplied with car and no joy so guess it's the wrong code..
So next thing is to remove radio to get the serial number...

So after rechecking all paperwork found a second radio code.... So thanks to Cpt black did the ignition reset again and it accepted the second code...

So fully functional again
Happy days....
